August 06, 2019 After this last round of post applied soybean herbicide, I’ve received multiple calls about herbicide damage. There are a multitude of reasons that cause herbicide damage; that is what we are going to dive into today. The best way to start looking at a herbicide concern is to start with the beginning of the season and field history, then work your way towards the plant symptoms you are seeing in the field today. Planting date, trait... |

August 05, 2019 Applying foliar nutrition products in-season to ensure your crop has the nutrition it needs to finish strong is nothing new! In fact, the Beck’s Practical Farm Research (PFR)® program has identified five PFR Proven™ foliar nutrition products for use in soybeans. If you are unfamiliar with the PFR Proven concept, it is any product or practice that has been tested in PFR and found to provide yield gains and average a... |

July 30, 2019 We can easily see corn showing signs of drought or heat symptoms, but signs of soybeans under drought stress aren’t as obvious. When soybeans suffer from heat and water stress, their responses vary due to their cellular structures, metabolic processes and physiological development, which all can directly and indirectly cause soybeans to exhibit symptoms based on their response. Early season soybean stress may cause leaves to be smaller or... |

July 26, 2019 A soybean doesn’t care about obtaining 100 bu per acre or if it gets 10-18 podding sites or if it is planted on April 15th or June 15th. A soybean plant is genetically programmed to develop a root system to bring in nutrients and water, and to produce nodules and nitrogen with rhizobia. Soybeans care about developing a canopy that captures sunlight to produce energy to produce a single offspring, and more would be great.

July 25, 2019 The ILSoyAdvisor received a question from central Pennsylvania last week: “My question is that my growers are seeing flowers on plants that are almost 1.5-foot-tall, which is much smaller compared to what we saw last year (or in normal years). I am wondering what happens to plant growth after the plants begin to flower. In other words, do plants keep growing and keep producing more nodes after they start flowering... |

July 24, 2019 A regenerative systems approach will utilize integrated, dynamic principles to synergize biologically-based practices to address fertility, pest and disease issues in corn and soybean production. The soil is the foundation in resilient systems that have the potential to leverage increasing soil organic matter to feed soil biology especially mycorrhizal fungi and associated organisms. In this webinar, presenter Kris Nichols, will discuss crop... |
